Gordon Reid was making his 100th appearance for the home side, but Glasgow got off to a shaky start as Leicester converted an early penalty to take a 0-3 lead but Stuart Hogg soon levelled proceedings with a penalty of his own after Matt Toomua was sin binned.

However, Ryan Wilson soon followed Toomua to the bin and the Tigers kicked the resulting penalty to the corner, forcing a try for a 3-10 advantage.

That seemed to wake the hosts up, Leonardo Sarto and Fraser Brown registering quick-fire tries, with both conversions put away by Finn Russell.

Henry Pyrgos added to the scoring with a try of his own just after the half-hour mark, but Russell was unable to convert, leaving the score at 22-10, with a penalty from Owen Williams reducing the arrears to nine.
